Limerick Reviews and Summaries
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice
Katie is Nine!
Sunday was Katie's ninth birthday. She celebrated by taking four friends to Mile End Climbing Wall for a climbing party. It was awesome. The girls were beautifully behaved and a real pleasure to have around. It was a great day.
So, what does it mean to have a nine-year-old? I'm still not sure, but my gosh she's a stunner. I really can't get over all that she can do. I think our job as parents is to launch people out into the world. I'm not ready yet, but I think if we had to, Katie would survive. Brilliantly. That is reassuring in some ways, terrifying in others.
Katie has no fixed plan for her life, which I think is sensible at NINE. She has recently been crowned the Under 9 Girls Kent Chess Team Champion. We've got the massive trophy on the shelf to prove it. We can even get her name chiseled into it. It's awesome. She has also completed the Gold level for Ice Dancing. She is going to repeat the level as we can keep her in group lessons (read: cheaper), and she feels she has more to learn. The next step would be private lessons and competitions. Where will we find the time?
At school Katie is as lovely and keen as ever. I have next to me a story she wrote last week (when she was still technically eight). Want to read it? Let's just assume you've said yes.
(Picture of hideous, spidery monster wearing a crown and a massive grin)
"Where am I?" shrieked James. He had just been staring at this strange, old, wooden plank when... there was a chatter from behind him. James tried to swivel roudn to try and catch the voice, but he couldn't: He was stuck. James was bound tightly wiht ropes, but just as he figured that out, the lights went on.
He said: "There in front of me was an alien. She was about twice as big as a human head and seemed twice as clever. Her head was a perfect circle, although her short, but spindly-like body was just plain metal; like a steel toothbrush just without hte bristles. The alien's legs were a sort of silvery-grey colour, but her face was peach. She had no hands, just a huge, toothy grin spreading further and further across her face every second. Her eight legs meant that she could pick up a whole pile of things without struggling." He drew a deep breath.
"Her ears were huge and curvy, but she couldn't hear through them - she spoke through them instead. It was freaky! "Hello," replied the alien. "My name is SpiderBaby. I believe you have something of mine."
Just then, James screamed, "AAARRRGGGHHH!!!" And the next thing he knew, there was a blackout.
Cool, huh?

When our friends the Scotts moved back to America, we inherited their fish. This was only fair, because Katie once tried to kill the fish. Not on purpose, really, but she did pour half a jar of fish food into their tank. This was a bit too much food for fish who are supposed to get 10-12 grains a day. It took the Scotts a long time to clear out all the food. The fish survived, but somehow we have a debt of responsibility to them.
So, we have pets now.
We did pretty well with them, except we lost Star a week or two ago. This was a bummer, because I liked her best. Amadeus is a big bully and Georgia is a bottom feeder (no, really, she is). Today I went to Pets at Home and bought two new female mollies to keep Amadeus company. I chose two of different colours so we could (hopefully) see genetics in action. I chose a white one and a gold one, brought them home and let the girls decide on their names.
Katie chose to name the white one Sparkle, and Buffy has named the gold one Little Star in homage to the Star we lost.
It's hard to feel attached to fish, but I am really pleased to see how the girls and Andrew have taken to these creatures. I hope we even get some science lessons out of it with the arrival of some babies. Should be fun up to the point of explaining why Amadeus ate the fry. (I don't know.. he's a jerk?)

Andrew brought home a massive spiral-bound book from work. It was only printed on one side, so he figured Buffy would enjoy the drawing space. He was partially right. She has thoroughly enjoyed the book - both sides of the page - but she's mostly used it for writing. She hasn't shown us any of these, but we had a flick through the book last night. Her are some of her gems:
Do not let babys or nruserry children on your spesheil report or you can IF you want your report Dstroed

Katie has started attending training days led by the Kent chess team. She's not on the team, but she can go train with them. It was a long day, but she seemed to enjoy it. Andrew signed her up for the first level, but she quickly proved too far along for it, and they bumped her up to the next level. She can now sit a chess exam in November which will bring her a step closer to being eligible to join the team.
Frankly, I'm not sure what all of this means. Chess is Andrew's world, not mine. Maybe I could get into Chess the Musical, but beyond the rudiments of the game, I'm lost. We firmly believe in nurturing our children's gifts and interests, wherever they lead. I fear that a choice is fast approaching - chess or ice skating. Of course she can always do both, but not at a high level. There just aren't enough hours in the weekend.
While ice skating is more my world, I am not sure I want the girls to go very deep into it. The near future seems to be full of expensive outfits and heavy make-up. That doesn't appeal in the slightest. Athleticism? Grace? Confidence? Of course. But they have strange bedfellows in the world of ice skating. No one puts on hairspray and fake tan to go for a run. Or to a chess tournament.
Ultimately this is Katie's decision, and we are very proud that she has so many doors open to her. Right now we will keep going as we are, but our candle is starting to feel a bit short!

Our weekend
Spending the summer in Albuquerque has given me a lot to think about. There's a lot to be said for being so close to family and forests. Every time we go, we have a big talk about whether we could/should live there. We investigate house prices, neighbourhoods, schools and even jobs. By the end of it all, we have a comprehensive plan. Every time (so far) we look at our plan and decide that we could be very happy in New Mexico, but we don't feel the need to move. London is incredibly exciting, and it will take a lifetime to exhaust all it offers. It's not easy to be so far from home, but this is where my heart is.
This weekend has been a perfect example. Friday night I went to a welcome back drinks party at the girls' school. Yesterday, Andrew took the girls ice skating (Silver award for Katie, Level one for Buffy!) while I went with a friend to London Fashion Weekend. We shopped through Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, Lungta de Fancy and all sorts of fabulous designers. We ate delicious, rustic sandwiches and drank Chambord champagne cocktails while watching a catwalk show. Today Andrew took Katie to a chess tournament, and Buffy and I walked down to the end of the street to watch the Run to the Beat half-marathoners race by. Later we are thinking of going by the Royal Naval College to check out the filming of the new Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Next weeked will include a tea party and the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables. Less than a mile away. New Mexico is wonderful, but I've still got things to do here!

Katie's Chess
So, yeah, Katie's kind of getting really good at chess. She won her school's chess club competition (beating even Year 6 students). She did herself proud at the Gigafinal. When we got home Andrew got a call from some guy who runs the under-11s chess club for Kent. She's been invited to join. They just happen to be the best team in the country right now.
The girls' school let out on Tuesday, so I thought it would be fun to bring Katie to school with me on Friday. Even in an unstructured day, I don't think Buffy could sit back and let me teach. Maybe someday? (Dream on!) Katie was thrilled. She squeezed her hands into excited little fists under her chin and said, "More school?!" Our little geek! As it was going to be a Friday, I asked if she could join the chess club.
My school's chess club is very boy-heavy. Katie has only played girls and her dad. I wanted to see how she'd do with a bunch of big boys. Could they intimidate the good play right out of her? First she played the coach (who is also a coach on the Kent team), then he placed her with a student whom he felt would be a good match.
A boy.
An 11-year-old boy.
Katie thrashed him!

Douglas Inouye begins two-year term as president of UHAAUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Stacia Garlach, (808) 956-4551
Director of Marketing and Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Director of Marketing and Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Posted: Aug 16, 2010
HONOLULU—The University of Hawai'i Alumni Association Board of Directors is pleased to welcome Douglas H. Inouye, Esq., BA '85, MBA '03 as its 2010-12 president, effective July 1.
"The responsibility to lead this organization is both an honor and very humbling at the same time," said Inouye. "While I am president, I hope to expand and maximize our ability to reach out to the less engaged alumni and get them to reconnect with us and their alma mater."
Inouye joined UHAA's Board of Directors in 2003 and has been its vice president for the past two years. He is a proud University of Hawai'i alumnus and underscores the importance of UH alumni contributions to Hawai'i.
"UH alumni are the very fiber of our community," he said. "Our alumni are well represented in every industry, profession and business in this state. They embody 100 years of stewardship and preservation of the commercial, intellectual, athletic and spiritual growth of Hawai'i."
Inouye currently serves as corporate counsel at the Queen's Health Systems and has been an attorney in Hawai'i for more than 18 years. He previously served as deputy attorney general for the State of Hawai'i in the Employment Law Division, and he practiced in the private sector at the law firms of Dwyer Imanaka Schraff Kudo Meyer & Fujimoto and Libkuman Ventura Ayabe Chong & Nishimoto.
Before becoming an attorney, Inouye was in hotel management with Outrigger Hotels Hawaii. During that time he also studied journalism at UH Mānoa and worked part-time at the campus paper, Ka Leo O Hawai'i, as a reporter and photographer. In the midst of his undergraduate studies, he had a unique opportunity through his church to study and live in Japan for three years. He earned an associate's in Japanese from Tenri University in Nara, Japan, in 1982, then came back to Hawai'i and finished his BA in journalism at UH in 1985. He went on to earn his law degree from Boston College in 1991, and he came back to UH Mānoa for an executive MBA from the Shidler College of Business, which he earned in 2003.
A local boy and second youngest of eight children, Inouye delivered newspapers and worked weekends at a produce store in Chinatown in order to help his parents make ends meet. Inouye's wife, Jane, grew up in Seattle, and their son Gordon is currently a junior at Maryknoll High School.
In addition to volunteering with UHAA, Inouye also serves the community as vice president on the board of directors for Special Education Centers of Hawai'i, member of the State Board of Private Detectives and Security Guards and member of the Tenrikyo Young Men's Association.
"It is rare to find an alumnus with such a commitment to his alma mater coupled with a strong desire to give back," said Janet Bullard BA, UHAA executive director. "Those two qualities make Doug the perfect choice for leading UHAA into the next phase of our growth."
Inouye will lead the alumni association as it embarks on a new membership structure this fall in hopes of growing the organization in support of UH. "Individually, we are graduates and supporters of the university, collectively we are the UHAA, and we are united in the common goal of perpetuating that growth," said Inouye.
The board also welcomes its officers for 2010-11:
• Douglas Inouye BA '85, MBA '03
Corporate Counsel,The Queen's Health Systems
• Patrick Oki BBA '92
First Vice President
Managing Partner, PKF Pacific Hawaii

• Darrell Yamagata BA '84
Vice President, Commercial Banking, American Savings Bank
• Mitchell Ka'aiali'i BA '92, MBA '97
Immediate Past President
Assistant VP & Business Banking Officer, Main Banking Center, First Hawaiian Bank
In addition, the UHAA board of directors welcomes new members Amy Hennessey BA '96; Michael Kahikina AA '88, BA '90; Jerry Linville MBA '96; Calvin Nomiyama MEd '80; Michele Saito BBA '81; Craig Togami BBA '89; Carol VanCamp; Paul Yokota BBA '79; and Kyle Yukumoto BS '93.

About the University of Hawai'i Alumni Association
The UHAA was informally constituted in 1922, ten years after the first graduating class of 1912, and formalized into a system-wide umbrella organization for all UH-recognized alumni groups in 1988. Its members support the university, and UHAA sponsors events that showcase the university's excellence. Governed by a board of directors, UHAA includes a nationwide and international network of 39 affiliated alumni groups. The association's goal is to generate support for the university by encouraging interaction among UH graduates and friends. The UH Foundation established the Office of Alumni Relations with the approval of the Board of Regents in December 2002. The Office of Alumni Relations works closely with the UHAA to serve the community of UH alumni and students in Hawai'i and worldwide.

The Standalone Database is Live!by alayton at 3:29pm
I've just launched our newest feature: a comprehensive item and crafting database for DayZ! After spending the past couple weeks working on this, I'm very happy to be able to show it off now. To help get you started, here's some of the best parts.
You can see a list of food and drink with all of the nutritional information right there with it. You can use this to estimate how much you need to eat to reach the healthy status, for example.
On each item's page, there's always a box on the right side with all kinds of details about the item. What type of details depends on the type of item; weapons show damage info, food shows nutrition info, clothes show armor and capacity info, and so on. This is meant to make it easy to look up an item and know exactly where to look to find what you want to know.
Some types of items are related to others. For example, weapons have attachments, and crafting recipes use and create items. These relations are shown in tabs, along with comments and screenshots. This makes it easy to see things like what attachments can go on your gun, what magazines it uses, and what can be crafted with an item.
There's a ton of information to see here, and it's all linked with the map, too. On any item page, there's a "Find on map" button that will take you to the map with only spawns that you can find that item at marked. Similarly, on the map itself, all of the items in the loot tables link back to the database.
Now that the database is live, improvements to the map are my priority. First up on the list is a topographic version with contour lines. I know a lot of people have been waiting for it, and now it's coming soon; I'm aiming for sometime next week.
Mid-January Updatesby alayton at 9:30pm
It's been a busy start of the year! DayZ has just seen its first major patch of the year, and we've just finished updating the site for it. There's lots of new items included, such as shotguns, spray paint, and some new attachments. On the map itself, a whole new city was added to the northeast corner.
Another couple features that I recently added to the map help you judge distances. The most accurate is a simple rangefinder: just click two points on the map, and it'll show you how far apart they are. The other is a grid for quick and dirty range estimations. Depending on how zoomed in the map is, the grid has either 1km, 500m, or 100m squares.
The bulk of the last two weeks have been spent working on item data. Soon you'll be able to browse through all of the items and crafting recipes in the game, kind of like you can for the mod - except better. That should be live within a week - I'm still hard at work on it!
Standalone Map Updated: Tons of Loot!by alayton at 4:35pm
We've just launched a massive update to the standalone map: thousands of new loot markers! On top of that, each one is clickable to see what items can spawn there. This is still an early version, but I think it's definitely a good start.
The changes in the way DayZ works now have also brought some changes to the way the loot map works. First, there's no longer such a thing as residential, industrial, military, etc spawns. Instead, spawns are categorized as Weapons, Equipment, Clothes, Supplies, or Medical based on a weighted ranking of amount of items available there.
The details on how that works are pretty simple. Each item belongs to a category, and each category is given a weight. There's a ton of different books, so they get a weight of 0.1, while there aren't many weapons, so they get a much higher weight. We go through all of the items that come from a spawn, add up their weights, and the category on top decides how the spawn is categorized. This means that a Weapons spawn isn't guaranteed to have any weapons spawned, but it's more likely that they'll be there than at other spawns.
Another change that helps in many cases is that each building can have multiple spawn areas, which each have their own type of loot. The fire stations, for example, have areas with names that tell you where those particular items can spawn: garage lockers, tower lockers, etc.
Again, this is an early version! I've made large changes to the way things work behind the scenes, and while I've made every effort to make sure things like custom marker sets still work, there's always the chance that I missed something. If you find something that's broken, send us an email or a tweet @DayZDB to let me know!
Hunger and Thirst in Standaloneby alayton at 1:11am
DayZ standalone introduces much more complicated hunger and thirst mechanics compared to the mod. For help understanding how the new system works, check out the guide we wrote to explain it!
DayZ Standalone is Available!by alayton at 1:36pm
The standalone has been released! You can find it on Steam here. Keep in mind that this is an early alpha, and is going to be buggy.
We're working on getting new data and maps available as quickly as we can. Like the game, once we have something available, it'll be a first pass, and not quite as polished as what we might want it to be. However, we feel it's more important to make something available as quickly as possible, rather than making it perfect first.
Update 1: An initial version of the map is available here! This is a very early version, but more is definitely coming soon.
DayZ Mod: Updated for 1.8by alayton at 4:49pm
A new DayZ mod update was released, which means it's time for some updates here. The biggest addition to the game this time is the introduction of a crafting system. Here's a quick list of some of the things that can be crafted already:
- Baseball Bat (Nailed)
- Multiple versions of Tripwire
- Bandages
On top of crafting, you can now also use Fishing Poles to fish in the sea. This is pretty great, because if you catch a Tuna, you can cook it to get a Tuna (cooked), which gives 2000 blood when eaten.
This is far from a comprehensive list of changes — you can find that here. Still waiting on standalone!
DayZ Mod: Updated for 1.7.7!by alayton at 9:31pm
For the first time since February, DayZ has gotten an official update! The new version, 1.7.7, brings a ton of changes, as well as hints of more to come. Here's a quick rundown of the standout changes:
- Zombies are more dangerous. It's harder to lose them, they can knock you down, and new "viral" versions are more likely to cause infections.
- Starting gear has changed to a Bandage, Road Flare, and a random choice between another Bandage and Painkillers.
- M1911, Revolver, and Makarov PM damage was increased to pre-1.62 levels. Machete, Hatchet, and Crowbar damage was substantially increased.
- Loot tables have been heavily changed, with deer stands getting military weapons again.
- A huge amount of new loot spawns have been added, but with lower chances of loot than previous spawns.
- A lot more. A full list can be found here.
Let's put a number on the number of new loot spawns added: over 2000. Loot now has a chance to be found at car wrecks, piles of rubble and trash, sheds, and around some closed buildings. To balance this out, it seems that the chance of loot spawning at any given point has gone down, so while it may seem harder to find loot, that might change as players get used to the new spawn points.
Next stop: Standalone! Hopefully.
Updates! New Map, More Vehiclesby alayton at 9:01am
Over the past few months, several new maps have been added: Namalsk, Panthera Island, Takistan, and Fallujah. There's now one more to add to the list: Taviana!
As part of working on the Taviana map, we've improved our behind the scenes tools for processing data to handle vehicles. Many of you have asked for vehicles on more maps than just Chernarus, and now we can give them to you! Vehicle locations are pulled directly from DayZ Bliss, one of the most used private hive packages. All maps got updated with this vehicle info, including Chernarus.
The next steps for DayZDB are pretty big ones: standalone DayZ is coming soon, and we're trying to get as much preparation done before the holidays as we can. Whenever it is released, we'll be working hard to get the quality data available that brought you here for the mod as soon as possible.

Red Devils battle weather, top Blue Devils
Newton-Conover and Maiden battled in men's tennis Wednesday, but they also fought the elements.
Wind played havoc for many tennis players, as painful looks of frustration layered the courts at Newton-Conover.
"I tell my boys that it is going to be windy in the spring," said N-C coach Brian Tate. "Maybe not this windy, but this is an exception. I tell them not to use it as an excuse because it is windy for both players. Usually, the players that adjust the best and deal with it come out on top. This is the windiest we've ever played in. I've never seen it like this. Sometimes you have to deal with the elements."
Despite weather conditions, athletes fought through them and competed on the tennis court Wednesday.
The Red Devils (12-2, 8-0) took the first three singles games of the match, including two-set victories from Ryan Lampe, Austin Adams and John Reid. Lampe swept his games against Stephen Lichtenwalner. Adams and Reid lost one game each to their Maiden competitors.
Adams said despite the victory, the weather was a major factor during his match.
"The wind made a big difference," Adams said. "The way you set up is different, and the way the ball will bounce is different. There is a lot of thinking that goes on. I shortened up my shot a little bit. It keeps you from framing the ball a lot."
Two singles matches lasted more than an hour and a half. Newton-Conover's Hang Lak Choi battled against Maiden's Landon Cansler in a match-up of No. 1 players. Red Devils No. 2 Reid and Maiden's Zack Huffman also tangled in a long match.
Choi fought off Cansler to win a tiebreaker in game one, 7-2. Reid and Huffman fought back-and-forth before Reid gained the upper hand, pulling out a 7-5 victory in set one.
Both competitors carried that momentum into their second sets. Reid was able to distance himself early in his second game to pull out the victory in the match.
Cansler kept things close with Choi in the early stages of their second game, but fell behind late to drop the set and match.
"The wind affected a lot of my stroke," Choi said. "Landon is good at hitting the ball back. If I didn't put the ball away, he could hit it all day long. I couldn't hit a really good shot because the wind kept changing its direction. I had a lot of trouble. All I could do was hit it back and wait until he hit the ball shot. Then I could put it away. That is all I could do against him. He is a really good player."
The Red Devils continued their strong play into doubles matches, where they earned the sweep on the way to another CVAC tennis victory.
After Wednesday, Newton-Conover has played four of the last five days. Coach Tate thinks playing consecutive games is beneficial to the team.
"I'm not really worried about it," coach Tate said. "Playing so many matches allows us to play a lot of players and build our depth. That is what I use these matches for. We have two more conference matches, so I will get some more of those guys in.
"Even though we are playing a lot of matches in a row, I will sit some of my starters, just for the fact, to keep them fresh. Once we get into the postseason, we play a lot of back-to-back and individual matches. We have to be ready for that," coach Tate said.

The information below is designed to help you understand what your latest blood pressure readings may mean for your health -- and to provide tips on what you can do to get or keep your blood pressure in a healthy zone.
NOTE: This information isn't a substitute for medical advice provided by your doctor. If you think you might have hypertension or elevated blood pressure, be sure to discuss your blood pressure concerns with a doctor or nurse, who can help you factor in other important information, such as other medical problems you may have. In particular, the information below may not always apply to those who are very old, very frail, or have multiple chronic medical conditions. View the full blood pressure chart.
Definitions of blood pressure terms
Systolic (the upper number in the reading) is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats; it measures how hard the heart muscle is working to pump blood throughout the body.
Diastolic (the lower number in the reading) is the pressure of the blood against the blood vessel walls between heartbeats when the heart is relaxed.
What a blood pressure reading of 219/134 means
Readings above 180 systolic pressure or above 110 diastolic pressure usually indicate a hypertensive crisis -- putting you in the highest risk category for heart attack, stroke, and other acute life-threatening problems -- and requiring emergency care.
Very high blood pressure can cause symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting, mental confusion, vision changes, chest pain, or shortness of breath. If you notice any of these symptoms along with a blood pressure above 185/110, your high blood pressure is considered a hypertensive emergency; call 911.
During a hypertensive emergency, a medical team will work to bring your blood pressure down quickly. If you don't have these symptoms but your blood pressure remains high, doctors call this "hypertensive urgency." It's important to seek medical attention for hypertensive urgency, so that doctors can help bring your blood pressure down over a period of hours to days.
Often people don't notice any symptoms, even when blood pressure is very high. Over time, however, uncontrolled high blood pressure leads to chronic damage of the body's arteries and organs. Common results of this damage include enlargement of the heart, which can cause heart failure, and chronic kidney damage, which can eventually require dialysis.
What to do if your blood pressure reading is 219/134
Don't make a decision based on one BP reading alone.
Lie down and rest for several minutes before getting additional readings when you feel calm.
Watch for symptoms of hypertensive emergency, such as headache, nausea or vomiting, confusion, vision changes, chest pain and/or shortness of breath. These could be signs of a life-threatening problem and require a call to 911.
Be sure you're taking all medications as prescribed.
If several readings are above 210/130 but you don't have acute symptoms, call the doctor and ask if you should be seen immediately.
If a doctor isn't available, go to the emergency room to be assessed for hypertensive urgency.
Talk with a doctor about adjusting dosage of medications to bring your BP readings down.
Ask the doctor to check for other conditions that can worsen high blood pressure, such as sleep apnea.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you're on any medications that can worsen high blood pressure (these can include NSAIDs as well as some antidepressants).
If you haven't yet done so, purchase a home blood pressure monitor that uses an arm cuff and check your blood pressure (BP) every few days. (Wrist and finger monitoring systems don't give accurate results.) Write down each reading, indicating the date and time, and bring this record to the doctor when you visit.
Once you've discussed your medical plan with your doctor, continue to pursue lifestyle modifications:
Stop smoking.
Lose weight or maintain healthy weight.
Increase physical activity.
Lower salt intake to less than 2g per day (most Americans get 5 to 10 grams a day).
Limit caffeine.
Limit alcohol.
Reduce stress.
Caring for those ages 80 and over
Very high blood pressure in this range should almost always be treated, even in very old and frail adults. However, as people get older, they often become more sensitive to quick drops in blood pressure. For this reason, if there are no symptoms of hypertensive emergency, the plan for bringing down blood pressure tends to be more gradual in these older adults.

Marine biology
Mosby Year Book, 1992 - Science - 614 pages
The new, sixth edition of Marine Biology covers the basics of marine biology and takes a global, non-regional perspective, emphasizing that the world's oceans and seas are an integrated system that cannot be understood by looking in any one person's own backyard. For many students this is a new perspective. This introductory, one-semester text is designed for non-majors.

1 pound dried orecchiette or other small shaped pasta
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup Italian seasoned dried bread crumbs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup finely chopped prosciutto
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized saute pan, heat the oil until warm. Since the bread crumbs will cook quickly, you don't want to add them into a hot pan, otherwise they can burn. Add the breadcrumbs and stir constantly. Season lightly with salt and pepper since flavored bread crumbs may already have seasoning. Saute for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain pasta in a colander. Working quickly, add pasta to the saute pan and stir to combine. Add Parmesan and the chopped prosciutto. Mix thoroughly. Pour into large serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Energy stocks erased early losses and traded moderately higher on Friday, with coal miners recovering from a recent trouncing and some of major oil companies slightly ahead.
Peabody Energy Corp. BTU, +0.72% shares gained 0.2%. The stock dropped more than 9% on Wednesday, as President Barack Obama's re-election was seen as a negative for coal producers such as Peabody.
Rival Consol Energy Inc. CNX, +0.66% gained 0.6%.
Some of the major oil-and-gas producers posted modest gains, with Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, +0.70% up 0.2% and smaller competitor Chevron Corp. CVX, -0.04% was flat.
Exxon has offered Russia's OAO Lukoil Holdings one of Exxon's fields in Iraq, according to a local report cited by Dow Jones Newswires. Lukoil has made no decision.
The head of Iraq's Southern Oil Company said Thursday that Exxon had asked for permission to share data about field with BP PLC BP, +1.12% Eni SpA, Lukoil and other companies, with the aim of selling part of its stake in the project, according to the report.
Marathon Petroleum Corp. MPC, +2.14% was among the losers, with shares of the company down 2.2% to $53.12. Spinoff Marathon Oil Corp. MRO, +0.76% shares gained 1.9% to $30.44, however, on the heels of an upgrade from J.P. Morgan.
The investment bank upgraded Marathon Oil shares to overweight from neutral, and increased its price target on the stock to $35.
"We believe improving results in North American unconventional [oil sources], especially in the Eagle Ford, underpin a loftier near-term production growth outlook" as well as an increase to valuations, analysts at J.P. Morgan said.
Natural gas producer Range Resources Corp. RRC, +0.67% rose 0.8%. Analysts at Capital IQ kept their "strong sell" rate on the stock.
Natural-gas futures prices are likely to rebound from current lows, "but on moderate economic expansion, U.S. production growth and the relative ease producers can ramp," prices are likely to remain under pressure, pinching Range's cash flows and returns at a time of high capital expenditures, they said.
"We think growth targets are attainable, and warrant a premium, but believe current valuations are only sustainable by a major hike in gas prices, which we don't see," the analysts added.
Rival natural-gas producer Chesapeake Energy Corp. CHK, +2.55% turned lower, off 0.9% on the day.
The SPDR Energy Select Sector fund XLE, +0.67% an exchange-traded fund that focus on energy names, was flat on the day, down less than 0.1%.
Crude-oil futures rose CLZ2, +0.47% 1.2% to settle at $86.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices gained 1.4% on the week. Read more about oil futures.

Ice-fishing tournament coming to Blackwell
Anglers of all ages are packing their jigs and tip-ups and sharpening their augers in preparation for next month's Hard-Water Classic Ice-Fishing Tournament.
Sponsored by the DuPage County Forest Preserve District, the tourney is slated to run from noon to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, on Silver Lake at Blackwell Forest Preserve near Warrenville.
Registration is $15 per person in advance online at signmeup.com/86766. Check-in is from 11 to 11:45 a.m. at Blackwell. The event entrance is on Butterfield Road, about one-quarter mile west of Winfield Road.
If the ice is unsafe, the tournament will be Saturday, Feb. 9. For details, call (630) 876-5931.
Anglers ages 16 and older who are not legally disabled must have valid Illinois fishing licenses in their possession, and everyone must follow all district and state regulations and bring their own gear and bait.
There will be 10 prizes: one each for the three longest largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie, and a gas-powered auger for the longest overall catch. All registrants will be in a raffle for ice shelters, augers, a fish finder, rod-and-reel combinations, tip-ups and other ice-fishing gear.
Proceeds from the registration fees will support district education programs that provide outdoor experiences for special-needs groups, Scouts and community centers in DuPage.

Written by Liana de Camargo Leão, Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)
Brazil speaks the language of Prospero, but speaks it with a difference; or rather, with many differences. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Brazilians have been able to attend performances of Shakespeare's plays produced either by European theatrical companies visiting Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo on their way to Buenos Aires and New York, or by the founder of Brazilian theater, the great actor João Caetano (1808-863); in both cases, however, the texts performed were melodramatic adaptations of Shakespeare by Jean-François Ducis (1733-1816), Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863) and Albois.
A hundred years later, the scene has completely changed: Shakespeare is performed throughout Brazil by Brazilian troupes; the text has been translated from the English original, without the mediation of French culture which dominated 19th C Brazilian culture.
Recent theatrical productions are unique because they are not afeard to transpose the text to their own cultural realities, appropriating Shakespeare, mixing the plays with Brazilian matter, coloring them with sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. The voices of the schools of samba, of the circus, of street theater, the harsh reality of the favelas, the twangling berimbaus and the martial dance of the capoeira from Bahia, the traditional culture of Minas Gerais, are among the many riches ready to drop new accents upon the plays. However, as Brazil is a country of continental size, Shakespeare can and is often recreated in such diverse ways that it becomes almost impossible to establish what a Brazilian Shakespeare would be.

Widener University: Law School Threatens Professor's Academic Freedom
Category: Due Process, Free Speech
Schools: Widener University School of Law
In December 2010, tenured law professor Lawrence J. Connell was banned from campus and charged with numerous violations of the university's Faculty Member Discrimination and Harassment Code, including using the term "black folks" and using hypothetical classroom scenarios (a common practice in law schools) involving law school dean Linda Ammons. In March 2011, after a faculty panel recommended that dismissal proceedings against Connell be dropped, Ammons allegedly induced two law students to refile harassment charges against Connell, and added a new charge of "retaliation" for defending himself and explaining his situation to his students. A second panel cleared Connell of all charges of harassment and discrimination, but found him responsible for retaliation. Widener President James T. Harris then accepted Ammons' recommendation that Connell be suspended for one year without pay and be forced to undergo a psychiatric or psychological evaluation before returning to Widener. Connell is currently suing Widener University, Dean Ammons, and the two students allegedly induced to file false charges against him.

Larry Connell is a criminal-law professor at Widener Law School. Last year, he was accused by two students of saying things in class that they found to be racist and sexist. The two students went to Dean Linda Ammons and told her that Connell had used her in a hypothetical scenario that included him attempting to murder her for taking away his parking space. (Such "hypos" are commonly used by law profs to spice up lessons and keep students paying attention.) Based on that "evidence," Ammons suspended Connell, pending the outcome of a hearing to fire him, and had him […]» Read More

Faculty committe drops most charges against Widener prof, but the case is far from resolved
July 29, 2011
You might remember a story from earlier this year about Widener Law associate professor Lawrence Connell. His attorney, Tom Neuberger, has issued a press release saying a faculty committee cleared Connell of most of the accusations against him following a three-day trial in June. According to the Widener faculty handbook, Connell's case will also be reviewed by several levels of Widener's senior administration as well as another faculty committee before reaching a resolution. In a criminal law class, Connell used violent, edgy hypothetical examples to demonstrate legal theories, including one in which he shot Law School dean Linda Ammons in […]» Read More
Widener Settles Lawsuit Filed by Law Professor who was Punished for Protected Speech
February 8, 2012
For a year now, FIRE has been reporting on the case of wronged law professor Lawrence Connell, who was the target of a campaign spearheaded by Widener Law Dean Linda Ammons. Ammons sought Connell's termination and banishment from Widener mainly on the basis of Connell's use of hypothetical legal scenarios that used Ammons as a character (quite a common practice in law schools). Ammons also allegedly induced two students to file charges against Connell. (The law school even indemnified the students.) Connell was exonerated of the original charges but Widener kept pursuing him, bizarrely finding that Connell's efforts to defend […]» Read More
Hans Bader Deconstructs Widener's 'Retaliation' Argument
January 4, 2012
Over at Minding the Campus, Hans Bader exposes the flimsy legal underpinnings of Widener University's finding this past July that Professor Lawrence Connell was guilty of "retaliation" for defending himself against baseless charges of racial discrimination. We've covered Connell's ordeal extensively here on The Torch, but in case you've forgotten the shocking details, here's Bader's useful summation of the case: Connell was convicted of "retaliation" because he and his lawyer denounced meritless racial harassment charges against him over his classroom teaching …. Connell, who is white, was charged with racial harassment and removed from Widener's campus because he discussed hypothetical […]» Read More
Yes, Widener's Major Supporters Are Leaving Because of Law Dean's Treatment of Professor
August 31, 2011
Adam's recent Torch post asked whether major supporters are indeed leaving Widener University School of Law over the dean's treatment of law professor Lawrence Connell, after legal blogger William A. Jacobson reported that Capt. (Ret.) Robert P. Taishoff had resigned as chair of the law school's National Campaign Committee. (Jacobson had seen the text of Taishoff's resignation communication but did not quote from it.) We now can say that the answer to that question is, unambiguously, yes. In case you're just catching wind of this atrocious case, here's Adam's summation of it from August 24: The school began actions to fire Widener professor Lawrence […]» Read More

The Chronicle of Higher Education's Peter Schmidt has an excellent article on the hair-trigger sensibilities of the college classroom, in which many professors have found themselves under fire for remarks seen as violent or threatening. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the free speech and academic freedom issues involved, several of the cases Schmidt cites in his piece are cases in which FIRE has been—or is currently—involved. Two of the cases Schmidt devotes significant coverage to in his article are cases with which FIRE has been intimately involved in recent months.

I reported last month that a law professor at Widener University in Delaware had been put on administrative leave and was barred from campus, 26 years into his teaching career at Widener, because of fake examples he used in his classes on criminal procedure. He even was facing dismissal. Now a campus committee has recommended that the charges be dropped.

On Feb. 27, The Durango Herald editorial criticized Colorado Accountability for calling Rep. Mike McLachlan a traitor, suggesting that he does not deserve that moniker and that it exemplifies nastiness. The left always holds conservatives, constitutionalists, libertarians and anybody else with views more right than theirs to a higher standard when it comes to political rhetoric. However, its always interesting to look up the definitions of even common words to see how Webster, Cambridge, Oxford and other dictionaries define the English language. Its frequently enlightening.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a traitor as:
1) one who betrays anothers trust or is false to an obligation or duty
2) one who commits treason
Cambridge Dictionary: a person who is not loyal or stops being loyal to his or her own country, social class or beliefs
Oxford Dictionary: a person who betrays a friend, country or principle
Only Merriam-Webster includes as a second definition a relationship to treason, of which there was no mention by Colorado Accountability.
McLachlan states on the Issues tab of his website a commitment to the Second Amendment. Mike supports the Second Amendment and the rights of all gun owners. It was overwhelmingly evident from the turnout at his listening session last month that a majority of his constituents feel betrayed by his lack of commitment.
McLachlan claims to be a centrist, yet he voted the party line when three Democrats did not.
He claims to want a conversation, yet he does this only after voting in the Judiciary Committee and the House.
He claims that he will now support a 30-round magazine limit. Yet he does this only after proposing and voting on the 15-round compromise and the opportunity for him to influence this issue has passed.
If these acts do not exemplify betrayal and disloyalty to his constituents and his own statements, then I suggest the Herald needs to start its own dictionary.
Sometimes, the truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

Researchers study french fry oil from fast-food chains vs. small businessesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Jan 21, 2010
With more Americans eating out, at least three times a week, and a lack of adequate nutritional information available to consumers, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa geobiology professor A. Hope Jahren and postdoctoral researcher Brian A. Schubert wanted to examine the oil content in a growing trend on American restaurant menus: french fries. What they found was that the majority of national chain restaurants on O'ahu served fries containing corn oil—which is higher in cholesterol-raising saturated fat than other vegetable oils such as canola, soy and safflower—as compared to small mom-and-pop restaurants.
The team found that the majority (69 percent) of the national chain restaurants served fries containing corn oil, whereas this was true for only a minority (20 percent) of the small businesses. Jahren and Schubert concluded that fries at the mom-&-pop restaurants are slightly healthier than at the big chains, thus making them a better dining choice.
Jahren and Schubert conducted their research over a year and a half by purchasing fries at 134 restaurants on the island of O'ahu and analyzing the expressed oil for carbon isotope value. Because O'ahu is geographically small, Jahren and Schubert were able to sample 68 of the 101 national chain fast food restaurants on the island, as well as a similar number of small local restaurants. Thus, they captured a profile of fast-food fries available to a population. Local restaurants sampled include Big City Diner, Rainbow's Drive Inn, Like Like Drive Inn, Kanpai Bar and Grill and South Shore Grill.
"Surprisingly, there was such a clear difference between the amount of corn oil in fast-food chains and the local mom-and-pop restaurants," said Jahren. "Since corn oil is more expensive than other vegetable oils, we hypothesized that it would be a simple function of what was cheapest."
However, Jahren and her team discovered that to make corn oil cost-effective, it is necessary to contract ingredients on a large scale from preferred distributors, which makes sense for national chains, but not from a small business profit perspective.
Fast-food restaurants are not providing enough ingredient and nutrient content at the point of purchase. "People want to eat right, they just don't know how," noted Jahren. "Multiple studies have demonstrated that knowledge of ingredients leads to changed eating habits."
The study was not supported by any public or private agency. All participants donated their money, time, travel and expertise. Jahren and Schubert's article "Corn content of French fry oil from national chain vs. small business restaurants" is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences at: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/01/06/0914437107.full.pdf+html?sid=98e3b8a9-fc8f-4ecc-90c8-423ec8c96759.

Rams improve to 14-1 with win over Sheffield
JOHNSONBURG – Junior Cameron Grumley had a career night with 25 points Tuesday night as the Rams (14-1) dominated Sheffield (4-6) in an 82-43 rout.Grumley, who scored 13 points alone in the first quarter, was joined in double digits by fellow junior Cole Peterson with 14 points, and senior Mitchell Holmberg with 13."We had a got a good start again and we spread the ball very well," said Johnsonburg head boys varsity basketball coach Bill Shuey following his team's 14th win of the season. "Our players see the floor very well and if you're open be ready. If you're not ready, you're going to catch it in the chops."The Rams got things rolling early with a 10-0 run to start the game, including three straight layups from Grumley. The Rams took advantage of several Sheffield turnovers to jump out to the early cushion. Unable to mount any offensive pressure inside against the Johnsonburg defense, the Wolverines instead camped out outside the 3-point line, draining eight treys throughout the game but never standing a chance.

This enables the system to work as efficiently as possible since there is one level for milder weather and another for harsher weather that demands the system work harder. Two-stage cooling also enables slight temperature changes so you don't experience extreme differences in temperature. Aside from better efficiency, other benefits of two-stage cooling include quieter operation and improved humidity control.

Study Shows How Notice-And-Takedown Reduces Transaction Costs In Making Works Legally Available
from the so-of-course-the-entertainment-industry-wants-to-kill-it dept
However, Heald's research looks at music on YouTube and concludes that the notice-and-takedown system has actually enabled much greater authorized availability of music, by reducing transaction costs. The idea is pretty straightforward. Without a notice-and-takedown provision, someone who wants to post music to YouTube needs to go out and seek a license. Of course, getting permission from all the various rightsholders is frequently impossible. The transaction costs of getting permission make it such that it's way too high. Yet, with notice-and-takedown, the person can upload the content without permission, and then the copyright holder is given the option of what to do with it. On YouTube, that includes the option of monetizing it, thus "authorizing" the use. That creates a natural experiment for Heald to explore, in which he can see how much content is "authorized" thanks to such a setup. And the result, not surprisingly, is that this system has enabled much greater authorized (and monetized) access to music than an alternative, high transaction cost system, under which uploaders must first seek out permission to upload everything.
In fact, the analysis shows a tremendous number of popular music hits from the US from 1930 to 1960 are available in what's likely an authorized (i.e., monetized) fashion, even thought nearly all of it was almost certainly uploaded by those without permission. Under the system that the RIAA and MPAA would like, this would be next to impossible. Instead, they'd want to negotiate deals first, making it nearly impossible for such works to be available, and meaning that both the availability and monetization of those works wouldn't be happening. As Heald concludes:
Congress should resist calls to dismantle platforms like YouTube which take advantage of current limits on secondary liability to create a marketplace that radically reduces the high cost of negotiating over rights to music and visual content. The access YouTube provides to valuable cultural products is far from perfect, but it provides a partial solution to the problem of disappearing works, at least in the music context. In any event, no new legislative initiative should proceed in the absence of concrete data testing the claim of copyright owners that their proposals make works more, rather than less, available to the public.

The B.A. in Communication Studies -- New Media is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on advanced writing and communication and is the second undergraduate degree offered at the Riverhead location.
Emerging media is one of the fastest growing career fields. Nearly all businesses, non-profits, schools, municipalities, government agencies, and organizations seek individuals with the knowledge and skill to communicate effectively in the evolving media landscape, providing graduates with many job and career opportunities.
"The ability to communicate in a compelling and clear manner on a variety of platforms is an essential skill that is highly sought after in nearly all professions and graduate academic disciplines," said John Brush, assistant professor and director of liberal arts education. "The B.A. in Communication Studies -- New Media program delivers a curriculum that covers a range of disciplines, giving graduates of the program with a well-rounded knowledge base."

Students with an associate degree from Suffolk County Community College may seamlessly transfer into the program. Students transferring from other colleges will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
A portion of the program can be taken in a blended learning format, with fewer classroom meetings and more online coursework than traditional classes.
Located on the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College, LIU Riverhead is a unit of the private, multi-campus Long Island University. Founded in 1926, it is one of the largest and most comprehensive private universities in the United States.
The new program will be the second undergraduate degree program at LIU Riverhead, which has offered master's degrees and graduate-level certificates since its founding in September 2006. An upper-division Bachelor of Science in Childhood Education was launched in September 2009.
LIU Riverhead offers undergraduate and graduate degrees and certification in subjects including childhood education, teaching students with disabilities and literacy education. Also offered is the Advanced Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis, which expands employment opportunities for teachers and presents a promising option for those seeking a professional career change.

When an earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, the United States stopped deporting Haitian immigrants to the devastated nation. But deportations resumed last January, and Franco Coby, 24, of Fort Myers, found himself banished from the country he grew up in since the age of 6.
Coby was born in Haiti and, like many immigrants, came to the United States with his family for a better life. He had a typical American childhood. But after high school, Coby found himself in legal trouble. He began selling drugs because he says he couldn't get a job without a work permit. Eventually he got caught.
In 2009, Coby was convicted for attempting to sell less than a gram of cocaine. He served two years in prison. When he was released, he was transferred to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was deported to Haiti Aug. 9, 2011.
When he returned to his native country, he spent a week in a Port-au-Prince jail. Coby expected that after deportation, he would be a free man. But Haiti often jails deportees when they enter the country – a process that is illegal under Haitian and international law.
The conditions inside the cell were not ideal: no beds, no water, broken toilets and the smell of garbage and feces drifting through the air. Conditions like these pose serious health risks. A cholera outbreak would spread quickly among inmates in these crowded jails.
Coby misses his family in the United States. He has two daughters – Elizabeth, 4, and Brianna, 2. His sister, Berline, got married the first night Coby spent in jail. He now lives with his Haitian relatives in the city of Les Cayes on Haiti's southern coast. But he can't get the family he left behind out of his mind. Coby won't be eligible for a U.S. visa for another 10 years. Until then, he has to try to adjust to life in a country that is foreign to him.
This story was part of a larger investigation by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting into U.S. deportations to Haiti. Jacob's research was supported in part by the Nation Institute Investigative Fund and the Investigative News Network.

BuildMyBod®, Industry Leading Web/iPhone App Releases Annual Plastic Surgery Pricing Report for 2013
Jan 17, 2013, 05:00 EST
BATON ROUGE, La., Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BuildMyBod, the plastic surgery site responsible for the BuildMyBod web and mobile app and the recently launched BuildMyBod Promos, released its Annual Plastic Surgery Pricing Report for 2013.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130117/DA44009-INFO)
The 2013 report highlights complete procedural costs from Board Certified Plastic Surgeons around the United States including member-surgeons of the two most representative plastic surgery societies: American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
Plastic surgery pricing is of immense online interest. According to Google search data, out of the millions of Google searches that occur monthly within the plastic surgery space, 10% of those searches are explicitly seeking procedure pricing and cost information.
To date, this is the most accurate data released on plastic surgery pricing. All pricing data was collected from Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, which includes physician fees and ancillary fees such as operating room or anesthesia fees, and implant fees that account for up to half of the total procedure – costs that were noticeably absent in previous surveys.
Based on information collected from the BuildMyBod database, here are some highlights of the Annual Plastic Surgery Pricing Report for 2013:
Breast Augmentation (silicone implants) total procedure price U.S. average: $6,443
- Southern Region average: $6,006
- Western Region average: $6,140
- Northeast average: $7,577
- Midwest average: $6,760
Tummy Tuck total procedure price U.S. average: $7,187
- Southern Region average: $6,740
- Western Region average: $6,911
- Northeast average: $8,550
Facelift total procedure price U.S. average: $8,409
- Southern Region average: $8,169
- Western Region average: $8,530
- Northeast average: $8,906
- Midwest average: $8,081
"Our goal, at BuildMyBod, is to create more knowledgeable consumers and help connect them to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. By selecting procedures of interest, consumers can determine the total estimated costs of those procedures from participating plastic surgeons, all before they enter the office for a consultation," said Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, CEO of BuildMyBod, and Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
BuildMyBod, the technology-based startup was founded by Dr. Jonathan Kaplan. BuildMyBod.com offers consumers a complete database of procedure pricing and BuildMyBod Promos notifies consumers of specials on non-surgical procedures by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in their area.

Why you need a personal brand
How building a strong personal brand can help you stand out, move up and forge ahead when people think about you.
You can differentiate a product. Position against competitors. Launch a strong, memorable, blockbuster brand.
If you're like most biotech managers, you live and breathe this stuff for the products that keep you up at night. But if you're like many of us, you may be overlooking the one branding project that could help protect your job and advance your career—the care and feeding of your own personal brand.
Standing Out—In a Good Way
Pharma is full of smart, ambitious, attractive people. For every newly hired brand manager, there are probably 100 reps who would love to come in from the field. So the competition is high, which makes how people perceive you especially important.
A strong, believable personal brand can help you be remembered and sought out as someone who brings value.
Monocles and Brooks Brothers
You don't have to affect weird fashion choices or dress like a fool to start building your personal brand. In fact, it's better to take some time to figure out who you really are first. Just like a product brand! What are your features and benefits?
What makes you unique? Who are your key audiences? What are your competitors doing?
LA Law or Jersey Shore
Your brand isn't just about your physical appearance. It's also about how you present yourself—your personal communications style.
Do you hold back and wait while the defense team does its thing, then move in for the kill? Or are you loud and proud, mixing it up and showing your intellectual washboard abs?
Either way, your style is yours. Polish it, own it, and pay attention to how it is working for you. Building your brand is really, after all, about self-awareness—knowing how other people react to what you say and do.
Brand Hallmarks to Avoid
I once worked with a man who consistently fell asleep during meetings. Even with clients. Clearly, this did not telegraph his interest or inspire confidence. Another colleague brought food to every meeting. We found ourselves watching her eat, fascinated, instead of listening to her key points. Still another would throw up before each presentation. Needless to say, we got worried about asking him to present.
Evaluate the Brand You Project
Are you important to remember, or easy to forget? If you were a drug, would people buy you? Ultimately, having a personal brand doesn't mean wearing natty white suits like Tom Wolfe, pulling a meat dress stunt like Gaga, or trying out a British accent a la Madonna.
Rather, it's knowing how people perceive you and being aware of how you project your strengths. It's getting your ideas across clearly in a business setting, and effectively telegraphing the unique value you bring. It's putting all the branding skill and experience you have behind a product you can really believe in—yourself.
